Engines of War

Album: Dominion of Ashes

Steel hearts awaken, the forges ignite
Tyrants in shadow command through the night
Cannon and thunder, the march never ends
History repeats where the empire bends

Iron against the earth, grinding down the land
Blood on the gears, turning by command

Engines of war, screaming louder than the sky
Engines of war, built to conquer, built to die
From the trenches to the stars, they are hungry for more
We are broken beneath the engines of war

Treads scar the soil where the children once played
Cities lie shattered in smoke and in flame
The tyrant is laughing, his kingdom secure
But the plague he unleashed has no master, no cure

Iron against the earth, grinding down the land
Blood on the gears, turning by command

Engines of war, screaming louder than the sky
Engines of war, built to conquer, built to die
From the trenches to the stars, they are hungry for more
We are broken beneath the engines of war

Factories burning, the furnaces glow
Fueling the legions with power they owe
Workers enslaved by the will of the throne
The tyrant builds weapons, but not for his own

Iron against the earth, grinding down the land
Blood on the gears, turning by command

Engines of war, screaming louder than the sky
Engines of war, built to conquer, built to die
From the trenches to the stars, they are hungry for more
We are broken beneath the engines of war

Ghosts of the past march alongside the machines
Rome, Berlin, Byzantium in shattered dreams
Empires may rise, but the end is the same
The engines remember — they burn in our name

Black smoke horizons, the daylight consumed
Echoes of empires that marched to their tombs
The tyrant stands trembling, his power undone
The plague he created now spares no one

The sickness in steel, the plague in the wires
The engines corrupted, their masters expire
What once was a weapon now burns out of hand
The machine is the master, not the command

Engines of war, screaming louder than the sky
Engines of war, built to conquer, built to die
No empire eternal, no throne can endure
We are ashes beneath the engines of war

We are ashes beneath the engines of war
We are ashes beneath the engines of
eternal, no throne can endure
We are ashes beneath the engines of war
We are ashes beneath the engines of war
